CharacterWorks Theater Arts Classes

A wide variety of classes are offered (core classes in drama, voice, and dance, plus specialty classes which vary from session to session).  Small classes are offered (usually 12-14 students) with adequate supervision both inside the classroom (teacher) and outside the classroom (class coordinator). Each class lasts for two-hours and runs for 9 weeks. During the final class week, a high-energy "SHOWCASE" is presented by each class for the other students as well as family and friends. Every student participates in the showcase.  Students enrolled in classes are then eligible to audition for the current main-stage production.  Classes are a great way for students to gain valuable theater arts training, develop confidence and make life-long friends!

Children ages 4 -19 may register . The cost for a 9-week session is $215 per student. A $25 sibling discount is offered (second child $190, third child $165, etc.)   The $215 tuition fee includes a class t-shirt and weekly snacks.

Classes currently meet 3 different nights in the Richmond area for each 9 week session:
Mondays (5:00 - 7:00pm) at KingsWay Community Church (Midlothian)
Tuesdays (4:30 - 6:30 OR 6:45 - 8:45pm) at Gayton Baptist Church (West End)
Thursdays (5:00 - 7:00pm) at Gayton Baptist Church (West End)
